^x2 on bushings... Nice pic jayosnaps. Have you noticed any weird tire wear/ handling on the DB as of lately? Could be an alignment and bushings. Check your tie rods as well to see if they're slightly bent.

You think? I'll have about a 2.5" drop maybe a little more when it settles. Also while we are talking about it, factory bump stops too.

^theres no such thing as suspension "settling"... If it does its because your bushings are shot. Lol. True story.

But yeah, 2.5 is a bit aggressive for a drop. Maybe invest in GC then. Y invest more $$ when you are selling the DB?

Haha, I doubt I'll actually sell it. Too much time and $$ into it and I haven't finished it yet. Don't get me wrong if someone offered me 10k for it, i'd probably do it.

The drop I will be able to adjust through the Konis, the S techs have a 2" drop. Maybe that's the settling I was used to then, the hardrace bushings better not be shot haha.

Well guys finally doing my first update on my DB8 since I bought her in February. I bought her DIRT cheap with a slight oil leak, so I now have the time this coming weekend to do a full refresh on the engine.

Gonna replace: head gasket, water pump, timing belt, other gaskets, etc. Get her all set for some potential road trips this summer! (and drive her to keep from rackin miles up on the evo!) Will post some pics up!

I'll have to pass it through the Gf first. Maybe drive out there Friday afternoon/night and make a long weekend out of it. SD isn't that bad of a drive for us, 6hrs or so. If EnjoyTheRide goes maybe meet up with him for the cruise.
